hello I am new to this. I just joined and thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself to everyone here. My name is Chris Vaden. I am from michigan and study at the Aikido Institute of Michigan, Seiwa Dojo. I have been studying for about five years now and hold the rank of sankyu. I hope to share my thoughtsand ideas with all of you and hope you will do the same with me.

My plan of turning all of our dojo members into Aikiweb participants is working...slowly but still working

Have fun. There are lots of good people here and an immense of amount of knowledge and experience...some similar to what we do and some at the other end of the spectrum.

Soon you'll be an addict too

p.s. Oh and don't let the Shodokan ruffians push you around (sorry Peter but I had to do it )

"A pacifist is not really a pacifist if he is unable to make a choice between violence and non-violence. A true pacifist is able to kill or maim in the blink of an eye, but at the moment of impending destruction of the enemy he chooses non-violence."
